Follow the Clues takes the children on a fact-finding mission through the Bile, learning about the promises that God gave to his people through the generations. With the help of some 1920’s detectives and private investigators, the children will discover evidence in the Bible proving that God promised to restore our relationship with him, and that all of his promises across the ages were fulfilled in Jesus.

Last week, 11 students and 2 faculty members of the Brisbane School of Theology came to St Bart’s to be involved in many different areas. Over this week they were involved in children’s ministry, university ministry, nursing home services, small group visits, youth group, pastoral visiting, and they helped us greatly with our Prayer Night, Women’s Coffee and Dessert Night, and our Father’s and Children’s BBQ.

At our 6PM service we were able to here from Beth and her experience in the BST Mission week. Please be praying for the students that God will be at work in them and their ministries as a result of this week.

"Come to my party" is a day for primary-aged children looking at a story about a great party that Jesus talked about. This event is fully catered, and includes morning tea and lunch. Come for a day of fun, activities, music and games. What else do you do on a pupil free day? Party time!

We have a children's day coming up on the 17th of October!

'Isn't that in the middle of school term?' Yes. But it's a state pupil free day! Many schools will have this day off. So, we thought it would be a great day for a children's day. This day is called 'Come to my Party' Come to my Party goes from 9am - 3pm, and is for primary school aged children. It's only $10 for the day, and this includes both morning tea and lunch!

There will be music, games, activities and craft, as well as bible stories as we look at one particular story that Jesus told about a great party! This day looks to be a lot of fun!

If you have any questions, or would like to volunteer on the day, please contact Stephen, our Children and Families Minister.

This week is a hard week, because we are thinking about the times when we put God second.
In Exodus 32, we see the Israelites make a poor decision, as Moses as been away for a while, they decide to make a new God. They put God second to something else.

Talking together is a weekly resource, designed for families or groups with younger people. It uses the teaching passage that was used in the sermon and in Sunday School, and present a few questions to get into the passage.

This week, the key word is Tabernacle which means dwelling or living with. You can read the instructions of the tabernacle here in Exodus 26. Moses is given instructions on how to build the Holy Tent. This is known as the tabernacle. This week, we are looking at what this means, and why it was important that God was with his people.

We have a wonderful team that comes together each week to help teach and care for our under 3 year olds in our congregation.
If you are if you are part of the creche team, or are curious about helping on the creche team, please come along after church on August 28 at 11:15AM. We will be praying for the team, talking about what it means to help our young children, and celebrating great stories that have happened.

Every week a team comes together to teach the children the same passage that the adults look at in the sermon. Every week this is prepared by the team in a way that makes it easy to understand for those age 3 through to children in grade 6.
On September 4, the team will be gathering together to share celebration stories, thank God for how the ministry has grown, and spend time in prayer as we look to the term and the year ahead.

If you have thought about serving in Sunday school, but unsure as to what it looks like, this would be a great time to come to, as we will be also talking about what it means to serve at Sunday school.
